Safe: Cable is enclosed inside the cover (on open-reel models, fingers can get caught in cable as it’s reeled in, and any frayed strands can cause cuts)

Longevity:— The cable is protected from the elements to prevent wear and rusting

Unique Features:

Clutch Release: User can pay out load in neutral and still control it with clutch mechanism

Spur Gear System vs. Planetary Gears: A planetary gear system generates much more heat, and draws more amps from the power source. Because the motor and gears are attached directly to the spool, the heat build-up from running the winch transfers directly to the drum and cable. In contrast, the StrongArm® winch’s spur gear system is much more efficient, gives off less heat and draws fewer amps.
